broncos/raiders game, and "rusty spurs"-chris ledoux

well if were gonna hit other rigs here.... in the 67 i carry a spare tire, complete tools to do just about anything, hi-lift, a chain, tow strap, spare set of points, complete ignition set, spare carburetor, upper and lower rad hose, wd-40 and a lighter, floor jack, blocks, fluid set, set of brake pads, rubber gloves for the dizzy(incase of muddin), spare thermostat, set of hip waders for the real deep mud, spare wipers, spare light bulbs, wire, switches, fuses, duct tape and jb weld, and stop leak.

260,000 miles and still going strong on my mj. you just can't trust newer vehicles with all their electronic crap. older is better

i carry the basic stuff. tool box, complete ignition set(wires, plugs, cap rotor,and wd-40), serpentine belt, quart of engine oil, duct tape, hose clamps, small floor jack, chilton manual, jumper cables, tow rope, spare wire, 2 hammers, 2 spare tires(although I'm down to one since i ruined one tire here not to long ago) and 2 wood blocks.

Florida people...... :shake: :hmm: lol us PNW guys just drive in 5 ft of slop, they gotta outdo us and drive in water. lol

i coulda told you you were gonna have problems with it whe it was jsut sittin in the lot... typical GM customer service and enginerring quality. after all CHEVROLET...Constantly Having Every Vehicle Recalled Over Lousy Engineering Technology

this would have been muddier, but it was all slush and about 10 degrees out, so it just froze instantly Image Not Found Image Not Found ya i know, just a 2wd.. but its still gets around.lol

hmm. i like da mj

only a 1/2 ton front end with those tall tires???? :nuts:

ill stick with 4 wheels.. thank you

ive gotten 28 from winnemucca to reno, nevada on my 2wd 2.5 4speed, and average around 25 all with 255,000 miles on it. I can see 26 on a 4x4, since you wouldnt be adding all that much weight because the 2wd also has a solid front axle all you would be adding is the t-case, driveshaft, front gears, hubs and front shafts

got it off.....see my other post. lol :mad:

lmao.no it was actually on a 81 datsun diesel we have, and the boat trailer needs new tires so i thought it would fit, and lo and behold it did. i just sanded it down and re-painted it.

good point. lol

very close. its on the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge on NW Nevada. my summer work position. lol

given time and patience, a hammer, and two screwdrivers you CAN remove a lugnut. here is how to do it. First make sure that you have 4 tires with about 15% tread left, and that you have a job in the high desert where sharp rocks are abundant. Second: Make sure one of the wheel lugs has no ribs on it whatsoever and is rounded off completely so that even a pounded on socket cannot remove it Third, Make sure you get a flat tire on that wheel at 9am on your way home from fishing AND ARE STILL 20 MILES FROM PAVEMENT. Very important that cell phone coverage is non existent. That is a crucial step. Next step: break out the tools consisting of two flathead screw drivers and a hammer. the next 4.5 hours you will spend using the screwdriver as a chissel to break the lug nut into 4 pieces....at least that's the plan. Once you have gotten 3 of the 4 pieces off, you are now left with the thickest part of the lug, and one screw driver that has completely blunt tip and the handle broke through. Try and spend at least another 2 hours trying to chip a crack into what remains of the lugnut with the tire iron behind the seat and the screwdriver. The handle should completely break on the screw driver by now leaving you with just the shaft. Here is where you will encounter your left thumb starting to go numb and blood starting to flow. Finally you will get enough of it chipped away that you just might be able to break the remainder of the nut by driving on the flat tire with the other 4 lugs just loose enough to allow the wheel to wable but not enough to ruin the other studs. Drive on the flat for at least 10 miles between 15 and 20 mph to slowly work the lug loose. Oh and you need to keep a keen ear on the cb, and hope somebody other than a trucker is listening so they can come up to give you a ride back to the shop to get the right tools. For a semi would not be able to turn around on the road you are on. i know, i asked.Finally you can hear the wheel wobble so you get out, and begin the painstaking process of jacking the truck up and using the dull screwdriver to pound what remains of the lugnut in a counterclockwise fashion to spin it off. Get it about half way off, and then just start whaling on it to break a thin spot and in the process manage to whack your thumb about 5 times and now it will be completely numb. Once you have the old lug off, you can now do the simple task of changing both front tires to match. Sounds easy enough right? try again. it is now about 90 degrees out, you ran out of water about 5 miles back, so you are very thirsty and you have no AC. you happened to dump your tool box off of the tail gate in both exhaustion and frustration and now all of the sockets are mixed together and in the bed of your truck somewhere. now you will need to find a #18 1/2 inch drive socket and a 3/4" 1/2 inch drive socket. after about 15 min you should find it. Once youget the tires changed, you can now go back to the shop torque the lugs to specs and go home and fall asleep for 5 hours while the truck is still outside waiting to be unloaded from the weekend and the tools organized again. And with that, changing a flat with a hammer and two screwdrivers is easily done. Oh and you will need a new tire, a new wheel stud, and possibly a rim, but it should be fixable with a grinder :-) personal account written by Allen Wellborn without the use of a left thumb for typing Image Not Found

went fishin this weeked and brought the boat along. Image Not Found Image Not Found

i think I'm just gonna have to grind the sucker off and put a new stud it, or if i can get it good enough, just split it with a air hammer and chase the threads after

yep i took the aluminum cover off, and my weldre probably won't have enough guts to get good enough penetration. i had a pretty good weld on it, but i don't think it got enough into the lug nut. ive already tried ponding a saocket on and hitting it with the impact. i think I'm gonna have to get the cuttoff wheel out and hope i don't catch any threads on the stud.

OKay, so i have lug nut that is stripped completely, as in no corners what so ever. i tried welding a nut to it and welding a socket tp it, but the welds just broke? how would i go about gettin this off?

not to be a road bump but, i think it should be a personal choice. Ive done kind of my own testing about it, and i drive damn near the same way with a phone to my ear and without

very cool, i found a pond down here where ive been averaging 2-4 lb largemouths on crappy jigs

I'm running a cobra 29 totally stock with a magnetic mount on the roof and i can get about 6 miles or so
